Ford De Luxe V8 Roadster 1935

Ford De Luxe 1935 V8 Model 48 for sale

During these years, De Luxe meant that there was a little bit more chrome on this car than the normal version. For example, the window frame and parts of the grill, and two chromed horns in the front. An extra special hood ornament and the special steering wheel were also items fitted only on De Luxe cars.

Exterior: Very close to perfect paint on this gorgeous car! Perfect chrome details all around and no sign of any corrosion anywhere. The car was restored between 1982-1996 to the condition it is in today in these pictures. In 1935, there were five standard colours and this grey was one of them.

Interior: A new seat cover material was ordered from USA, the brown interior makes a superb colour combination with the grey outside, and the red details make it stand out.

Engine: Also, the big V8 engine has been revised and runs very nicely. Gives the car enough power to keep up with today’s traffic and the 3 gears give enough speed to go as fast as you would want to with the top down and the kids giggling in the rumble seat. Rear axle ratio is 3,25:1

History: John, the man that restored this car, bought it back in the 70's and had it until recently. So, it had the same owner for the last 50 years or so.
